Re: 24 bit vs. 16 bit? |
You're welcome! He's a very good writer, isn't he?
I also tape, and while I always use 24 bit (for post-processing headroom) for recordings, 48 is overkill (see the summary again).
It's a very interesting topic these days, with many companies trying to capitalize on people's desire to purchase something with a higher number on it (it's larger, so it must be better!). However, I do think that Neil honestly believes that he is doing a service by releasing his work this way.
In my opinion, all other things being equal, a good recording has more to do with how the recording was captured (mics, levels, room acoustics, etc.) and mastered.
